Our Seattle Reign FC just got hit with a tough 3-2 loss against Gotham FC in the 2026 NWSL action, and that score stings deep for the Emerald City. Even with the globe buzzing about World Cup fireworks, this one feels personal for us.
Reign Hit Hard By Gotham, Despite Extra Breaks
The match against Gotham FC was a battle, a real grinder where our Reign couldn’t quite pull through. Gotham took the win, 3-2, in a game that even saw extra hydration breaks, probably for good reason given the intensity. It’s frustrating to see our squad come up short like that. Around the league, Denver Summit FC beat Portland Thorns FC 2-1, Angel City FC shut out Chicago Stars FC 2-0, and Bay FC had a dominant 3-0 win over North Carolina Courage. But none of those sting like a loss for our own team. We need our Reign to find that gear and start converting those close games into wins, especially at this point in the season.
World Cup Goes Wild, But Our Focus Is Local
Meanwhile, on the international stage, the 2026 FIFA World Cup delivered some insane drama with England absolutely lighting up France, winning 6-4 to clinch third place. Bukayo Saka was a total beast, grabbing a 9/10 rating and dropping a hat trick on France. Talk about a performance! The World Cup has been full of moments, with Mbappé breaking Messi’s World Cup goals record and Rodri powering Spain into the final, but when our local team takes a hit, it’s hard to get too hyped about anything else.
That 3-2 loss for the Reign is still sitting heavy. We need to see them shake this off and come out firing in their next match. Our 12s are always here, ready to cheer them on and help them turn things around. We’re looking for that bounce-back, Reign! Let’s get it.
